Elaine Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 As an English instructor, one thing I don't like is generalities. Of all my radiologist reports, this one deserves an F. In three paragraphs it says nothing. However, his punctuation was perfect, but that doesn't make up for a lack of content It notes no enlarged lymph nodes. None. Then it says when compared to previous scan, stable. The previous scans --plural, say two and sometimes three or four enlarged nodes--some as large as 1X 3 cm. So what the heck????!!!! I came home and called the radiologist, and he pulled up the scan and said there were no nodes over 1 cm---nothing, according to him, looked suspicious. So, is this good news or more not quite sure people are doing their job, since the whole point of the scan was to compare particular lymph nodes? I have no idea why I have waxing and waning lymph nodes (the same lymph nodes)! Right now, I am going to take it as good news. I will post in Ask the Experts and see what our Dear Dr. Cunningham has to say. Thank you all so much. Pls head over to the pub and have a drink on me. love and fortitude elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Sounds good to me, Elaine. Lucie has had variable lymph nodes herself -- presently stable. I'll drink to that! Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nushka Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Elaine, I know it sounds a little strange, but if he said nothing to worry about, then I would try not to worry. Good news is hard to come by so be glad this was. Keeping you in my prayers. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stand4hope Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Hi Elaine, I don't understand the up and down lymph nodes either, but I guess up and down is a lot better than up and up and up. I'm thrilled to hear this good news!! Prayers for you and your family - ALWAYS! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Elaine--I am glad for your good news. I too, have lymph nodes that go up and down in size. In my case, it seems to be normal--however, who would ever know this unless one were scanned. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
